Version of 28 September 2026

This is a translation for convenience. In case of doubt, the German version prevails.

Important note in advance: The US Aktien Screener is a tool for the user's own research. It does not constitute investment advice, financial analysis within the meaning of the Austrian Securities Supervision Act 2018 (WAG 2018) or a recommendation to buy or sell financial instruments.

1. Scope

1.1 These terms apply to the use of the website and of the web application at us-aktien-screener.com in all plans.

1.2 The service is directed at both consumers and entrepreneurs. Vis-à-vis consumers, the mandatory provisions of the Austrian Consumer Protection Act (KSchG) and of the Austrian Distance and Off-Premises Transactions Act (FAGG) take precedence.

1.3 The terms can be accessed before the contract is concluded and must be confirmed during the ordering process.

2. Subject matter of the contract and plans

2.1 The service filters listed US shares by key figures and displays the result. Additional functions such as watchlists and export are available depending on the plan.

2.2 Plans and prices:

The provider itself is a small business pursuant to sec. 6 (1) no. 27 of the Austrian VAT Act 1994 and does not show value added tax. Because the sale runs through a Merchant of Record (clause 4), any value added tax is governed by the customer's country of residence and is shown separately during the ordering process. Only the total amount shown during the ordering process is decisive.

2.3 The range of functions is continuously developed further. The core owed under the contract – filtering listed US shares by key figures and displaying the results – is maintained for the duration of the contract. Individual additional functions may change; a material restriction is announced at least six weeks in advance and entitles the customer to terminate the contract for cause with a pro rata refund.

3. Conclusion of contract

3.1 The presentation of the plans is a non-binding invitation to place an order.

3.2 The contract is concluded upon completion of the payment process. Confirmation is sent by e-mail and serves as a durable medium. The order button is labelled "order with obligation to pay" (zahlungspflichtig bestellen) or an equally unambiguous wording (sec. 8 (2) FAGG). Immediately before completion, the essential characteristics of the service, the term and the total price are displayed.

3.3 An account is required in order to use the service. Login takes place by means of a one-time code sent by e-mail.

4. Payment processing

4.1 Payment is processed via Lemon Squeezy. Lemon Squeezy acts as Merchant of Record: the payment contract and the tax handling run through Lemon Squeezy. The service itself is provided by the provider; for the service, the warranty and withdrawal, the provider is the point of contact.

4.2 Means of payment and receipts are governed by the payment service provider. Card or account details cannot be viewed by the provider.

5. Term, renewal and cancellation

5.1 The monthly plan runs for one month and is automatically extended by a further month in each case unless it is cancelled by the end of the current period.

5.2 The annual plan runs for one year and is automatically extended by a further year in each case unless it is cancelled by the end of the current period.

5.3 Clear notice of the automatic renewal is given during the ordering process (sec. 9 FAGG). Before an annual plan is renewed, an additional reminder is sent by e-mail.

5.4 Cancellation is possible at any time in the account or informally by e-mail. It takes effect at the end of the current billing period; periods already paid for remain usable.

5.5 The Founder plan is a one-off payment and includes guaranteed access for at least three years from purchase. If the service is discontinued within those three years, the portion not yet used will be refunded on a pro rata basis. After the three years have elapsed, access will be continued free of charge for as long as the service is operated; there is no legal entitlement to operation for an unlimited period.

6. Right of withdrawal for consumers

Right of withdrawal

Consumers within the meaning of sec. 1 of the Austrian Consumer Protection Act have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason. For contracts for services and digital content the period is 14 days from the day the contract was concluded.

To exercise the right of withdrawal, an unambiguous statement (for example by e-mail) to the following address is sufficient:

Robert Thalhammer, Grabengasse 13/3/2, 2630 Ternitz, Austria
Contact form: https://us-aktien-screener.com/kontakt.html, E-mail: info@us-aktien-screener.com

Online via the "Withdraw from contract" button: it appears at the bottom of every page of us-aktien-screener.com and leads to the form at https://us-aktien-screener.com/en/withdraw.html. Your name, e-mail address and the invoice or order number (or the date of purchase) are sufficient; the statement is sent with the "Confirm withdrawal" button. Receipt is confirmed by e-mail without undue delay, stating the date and time.

The model withdrawal form reproduced below may be used for this purpose, but is not mandatory. Sending the statement in good time is sufficient to meet the deadline.

Consequences of withdrawal

In the event of a valid withdrawal, all payments received will be refunded without undue delay and at the latest within 14 days of receipt of the notice of withdrawal. The same means of payment used for the original transaction will be used for the refund; no fees are charged for this.

Immediate provision and early expiry of the right of withdrawal

Provision before the 14 days have expired only takes place if the consumer expressly requests it. That request is voluntary: anyone who does not make it can still purchase — provision then begins after the withdrawal period has expired.

In the event that one-off digital content (e.g. downloads) is offered in future, the following applies: For digital content not supplied on a tangible medium, the right of withdrawal expires under sec. 18 (1) no. 11 FAGG only if all three conditions are met: the consumer has expressly consented to immediate performance, has acknowledged that they thereby lose their right of withdrawal, and the provider has supplied a confirmation of the contract on a durable medium. The provider sends this confirmation itself by e-mail immediately after the purchase; a message from the payment service provider alone is not sufficient for this purpose.

The following declaration is therefore presented for confirmation before provision:

"I expressly request that the service begin immediately. I acknowledge that if I withdraw within the 14-day period, I must pay the proportionate amount for the service provided up to that point."

For services, the right of withdrawal expires under sec. 18 (1) no. 1 FAGG only once the service has been performed in full and the consumer expressly consented beforehand and acknowledged that they thereby lose the right of withdrawal. For ongoing services and subscriptions, which by their nature are never "performed in full", the right of withdrawal does not expire; if the consumer withdraws within the period, they only owe the pro-rata amount up to that point under sec. 16 FAGG.

This applies to all plans of this service including the Founder plan: they are ongoing access services (digital services), not digital content delivered once. If a consumer withdraws within the 14-day period, the amount paid is refunded less the proportionate fee for the days used up to that point (sec. 16 FAGG); the right of withdrawal does not lapse entirely.

7. No investment advice – express notice

7.1 All content, key figures, filter results and displays are general information. They take into account neither the personal circumstances nor the investment objectives, the experience or the risk appetite of any individual.

7.2 No investment advice, no investment brokerage, no portfolio management and no financial analysis within the meaning of the Austrian Securities Supervision Act 2018 is provided. The provider is not a licensed investment firm.

7.3 Securities transactions involve considerable risks, up to and including total loss. Past performance allows no conclusions to be drawn as to the future. Expert advice should be obtained before any investment decision.

7.4 Investment decisions are taken by the customer on their own responsibility. The provider is not liable for their economic outcome; liability for personal injury, intent and gross negligence and the statutory warranty for the function of the service owed under the contract remain unaffected.

7.5 The service filters purely mechanically according to fixed, predefined key figures and thresholds that are the same for all users. Displayed values such as price targets or analyst ratings are unaltered information from third parties. No result is individually selected, commented on or highlighted. Consequently, no investment recommendation within the meaning of Art. 3 (1) no. 35 of the Market Abuse Regulation (Regulation (EU) No 596/2014) is produced or disseminated. The provider receives no money or other benefits from any of the companies displayed.

7.6 Disclosure of possible conflicts of interest: the provider receives a commission if an account is opened with a trading platform via a referral link (clause 11). This commission does not depend on which shares are displayed or on whether and how an investment is made. Whether the provider itself holds positions in shares displayed has no influence on the filtering, because filtering is carried out purely mechanically.

8. Data sources and availability

8.1 The key figures come from external sources. What is owed is the correct adoption and processing of this data, not its factual accuracy: the provider cannot vouch for a third-party data source delivering correct, complete and up-to-date information. Data may be delayed, incorrect or incomplete. The data supplier likewise gives the customer no warranty as to accuracy, completeness or timeliness. The statutory warranty for the function of the service remains unaffected.

8.2 The provider may change data sources if a supplier changes its terms or ceases to be available. Material changes will be announced on the website.

8.3 Uninterrupted availability is not promised. Maintenance work and disruptions at service providers may lead to interruptions. In the event of a significant interruption for which the provider is responsible and which lasts longer than seven consecutive days, a current subscription is extended accordingly.

9. Account and obligations of use

9.1 The account is personal. Passing on the access credentials and shared use by several persons are not permitted.

9.2 The automated extraction of data on a larger scale, the circumvention of usage limits and the passing on or resale of the data retrieved are prohibited.

9.3 In the event of a serious or repeated breach, access may be blocked after the customer has been requested to desist without success. Periods already paid for but no longer usable are refunded on a pro rata basis; the fee is not retained without a corresponding service in return. Claims for damages by the provider remain unaffected by this.

10. Discounts and promotions

Discount codes apply only for the period and to the extent stated in each case. A combination of several promotions is excluded unless stated otherwise.

11. Affiliate links

Individual pages contain referral links to trading platforms for which a commission may be payable. This commission is a possible conflict of interest and is therefore expressly disclosed (clause 7.6). Such links are marked as advertising. They do not constitute a recommendation to buy or sell financial instruments or a recommendation of any particular trading platform; no additional costs arise for users.

12. Warranty

The statutory provisions apply; for digital services supplied to consumers, the Austrian Consumer Warranty Act (VGG) applies.

13. Liability

The provider is liable in accordance with statutory provisions for damage caused intentionally or through gross negligence. Liability for slight negligence is excluded, except in the case of personal injury.

Liability under the Austrian Product Liability Act and liability for injury to life, body or health remain unaffected in all cases.

Vis-à-vis consumers within the meaning of the Austrian Consumer Protection Act (KSchG) the following applies: compensation for personal injury is never excluded or limited, nor is liability for intent and gross negligence. All exclusions and limitations of liability set out in these terms therefore apply, vis-à-vis consumers, exclusively to material damage caused by slight negligence. There is no limitation of warranty rights to the consumer's detriment before the consumer becomes aware of the defect (sec. 9 KSchG).

Vis-à-vis entrepreneurs, liability is limited to the fee paid for the plan concerned in the last twelve months, and to EUR 199.00 in the case of the Founder plan. This limitation does not apply in cases of intent, gross negligence or personal injury.

14. Trade marks and copyright

The company and product names and stock ticker symbols mentioned are trade marks of their respective owners and are used for descriptive purposes only. The structure, design and source code of the service are protected by copyright.

15. Amendments to these terms

15.1 These terms may be amended in so far as the amendment is objectively justified by a change in the legal situation, a change in case law, changed requirements of a service provider used, or technical development, and does not unreasonably disadvantage the customer.

15.2 The fee, the term and the core service owed under the contract pursuant to clause 2.3 cannot be amended unilaterally. Price changes apply only to contracts newly concluded or expressly newly agreed.

15.3 Amendments are announced by e-mail at least six weeks before they take effect. The announcement contrasts the old and the new version and expressly points out that silence until the amendment takes effect is deemed to constitute consent, and what right the customer has if they do not consent. If the customer objects in good time, the contract ends when the amendment takes effect; periods already paid for but not used are refunded on a pro rata basis.

15.4 The Founder plan is exempt from clauses 15.1 to 15.3. The guaranteed access under clause 5.5 remains in place irrespective of amendments to these terms. If the service is discontinued within the first three years, a refund is made according to the formula EUR 199.00 × remaining full months ÷ 36.

16. Data protection and dispute resolution

16.1 Which data is processed is set out in the privacy policy at us-aktien-screener.com/en/privacy.html.

16.2 In the case of disputes arising from consumer transactions, out-of-court dispute resolution by a recognised conciliation body may be used, for example by the Internet Ombudsstelle (Margaretenstraße 70/2/10, 1050 Vienna, www.ombudsstelle.at). The provider is not obliged by law to do so. A reference to the European online dispute resolution platform is omitted because the underlying regulation was repealed with effect from 20 July 2025.

17. Applicable law and place of jurisdiction

Austrian law applies, excluding the conflict-of-law rules of private international law and the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. For consumers, this choice of law applies only insofar as it does not deprive them of the protection afforded by mandatory provisions of the law of the country in which the consumer has their habitual residence (Art. 6 (2) Rome I Regulation).

For actions against consumers, only the statutory place of jurisdiction under sec. 14 of the Austrian Consumer Protection Act applies. Consumers may sue the provider either at its registered seat or at their own place of residence.

18. Final provisions

Should any provision of these terms be or become invalid or unenforceable, the validity of the remaining provisions shall remain unaffected. The invalid provision shall be replaced by a valid one that comes closest to its economic purpose. Vis-à-vis consumers, the statutory rule applies in place of the invalid provision.

Amendments and supplements to these terms must be made in text form. Vis-à-vis consumers: informal declarations by the provider and oral commitments remain effective (sec. 10 (3) KSchG).
